Barbara runs the students through relative pronouns in the genitive case, and though she finds the form to be beautiful, not all of her students are convinced! Still, Alex has finally cleaned up, Sara is keeping a diary, and Barbara explains the genitive case in straightforward terms so you can ace them on your next test. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Barbara is still running through relative pronouns in the genitive case, but this time in relative clauses. We get to learn a lot about Jacob's appearance, and Elke has long hair, but who is Janno and why is his mouth so nice? This one ends in laughter, so see for yourself how you can have viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Barbara leads the students through further examples of relative pronouns, with a nice detour through film history, discussing the merits of Hitchcock crime films versus horror films. Jacob tries to say "Film Noir" in German, but nobody gets it when he says "ein schwarzer Film". A brief foray into the passive verb tense has everyone on their toes: To be continued... Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

The class continues working out the details of the relative clause pronouns dessen and deren. Mia finds herself rebuffed when she suggests that the woman whose husband has disappeared is now entertaining another woman, leading to a discussion of the difference between unterhalten and sich unterhalten. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

The natives (or non-natives, in this case) are particularly restless today. Mia and Jacob are flirting in whispers so much that Barbara is forced to hush them a few times. So despite the teen shenanigans, we make some progress with relative clauses and have some fun doing so!

Barbara leads the class in finding categories for relative clauses. Who is Mozart? Mozart is a composer, who...? Despite her support, Brady is at an utter loss for ideas. See if you can help him out! Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Brady tries to cover up his failure to do his homework with the new grammatic term "dative of the accusative", but Barbara isn't having any of it. She, on the other hand, seems to have crossed Tom Waits with John Waite, an interesting musical proposition indeed! So on with the relative pronouns and viel Spaß beim Lernen!

In this fast and furious segment, Barbara takes the class on a slam dunk grammar tour of German relative clauses with prepositions. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Barbara bravely leads the somewhat sullen class (late night perhaps?) through an excellent lesson in constructing relative clauses with prepositions, and is not convinced when Mia claims that they are fertig. Whatever could she mean by that? Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Barbara notices that Ian seems to have forgotten how to count in German, and then before the class can get started on relative clauses with verbs and prepositions, Mia and Liz make a great effort to explain sich gewöhnen an. In the end it's all laughs and high-fives! Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Barbara tries to get the students to talk about what they don't like about Germany, but the only thing they can come up with is the lack of free water in restaurants and cafes. Barbara, however, admits that when she is in the US, she misses German bread. Meanwhile Jacob, Casie, and Stephanie sort out the meaning of sich kümmern um. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

For a German language test, students have to conjugate verbs in the present tense, past tense and present perfect.

Today the German students learn how to switch main and dependent clause around using the conjunctions "when/if," "because" and "although." Watch out how the positions of the verb and the subject change!

The students of the German class focus on starting a sentence with a dependent clause in this clip. Many example sentences make grasping this part of the German language fun and easy.

In this clip, the German instructor elicits examples given by students. Watch, listen and learn as they practice the conjunction "dass" ['that'] in this intimate classroom setting. "Viel Spaß!"
